A word of caution... Don't use waze upstate, especially getting to Walmart.

Have seen similar problems with Google Maps (not upstate) these problems will always exist with GPS. I personally will often try waze and gmaps at the same time to compare routes, traffic, etc.

I tried that once, can be a disaster, one telling you to turn right and other left.

Someone anonymous reported on waze 4 cops on the 440 in SI, all within a minute of each other, none were there. Think it was a cop who did it?

If he's off duty so he's not pulling over anyone anyway, this causes people to go slower.

To diminish peoples trust in the apps reports?!

IIRC, I've seen reports of cops playing around with these reports. They're really pissed about it. It makes reaching their quotas a pain.

Nah. I don't think cops care that much about people speeding other than writing tickets.

Maybe there WAS a cop but he didn't stay forever ..

Happens sometimes if a cop is driving on the highway and people report it

Ez · « **Reply #56 on:** April 14, 2014, 12:28:22 AM »

There is an option to report cops "visible" or "hidden", maybe there was a cop hidden somewhere in a driveway etc.?
